Phantom Summoner Question

[EvilDante]

Have they really removed passive vr from the Shadow Summon?

If so... what is the point on having him as summon if it has same stats as soulless except for the speed and matk (shadow has 30 less speed and about 300 matk less) <-- this last matk stuff is completely useless for soulless just for his ****** skills poison and burst corpse lol xd

What about the Nightshade?

I hope a good Phantom Summoner can answer this, many ingame ps dont even know what Im talkin about (newbies)

Shadow still has it but like vr it is now chance so it isn't as strong as it used to be. It is still great on tougher mobs and mobs near each other, but for usual 1x and 2x hp mobs i prefer soulless.

nightshade is good summon too and comes cheaper than soulless or shadow. Though on high hp mobs it will kill slower. on low hp mobs it isn't that noticeable though. or parties.

[EvilDante]

thx for the reply, could I ask where did you lvl at 55 (Shillen server is full everywhere)

[Nismu]

hmm.. i think i was on top level of enchanted valley killing elder mobs. or perhaps devastated caste or fields of massacre. frozen labyrinths group golems were about those levels i think and valley of saints.

I am playing PS as well.
And i am absolutely inlove with my Nightshade.. its inmortal!
And the debuffs... the curse of shadow... in adition to the hex cubic... really helps with x2/x3 hp mobs...
VR is chance.. so dont count on it too much.

I am lvl 68 right now and my nightshade has 11k of hp (with mentor buff) around 9k with regular buffs... a real hp tank...
Try to lvl up in places were herbs drop... or dont use dead spike that often.. and mana will never run out... so your summon will never die...

At lvl 60 go to Wall of Argos... or out side Goddard... once you are 63+ go to Swamp of Screams.. get a pit... and you will lvl fast and easy...

Nightshade > Shadow, HP monster, P def monster, 200 less p attack, but it is compensated with the curse that decrease pdef-mdef and can stack with Hex(from cubic) and gloom debuffs.

I'm thinking to use a Phantom Sumoner,dou you have any tip or idea that help to improve my pj??

im phantom summoner 66, in magmeld.

Shadow, when are close room (toi) or the mob are verry strong and don have to walk more.
shadow blows verry strong, as soilless, has more hp than soulless and yes, has vampiric rage incluided.

soulless, walks faster than shadow, blows equal than shadow, he can use massive poison and use corpse brust, i dont use that for his lower hp.

nightshade its a tank buffer, he has focus,, death whisper and guidance, he can uses sacrifice, agression and aura of hate, has the strongest defense and hp of you summons, but he has the lesser patk. Walks equals soulless.

you have to choose what summon do you prefeer, in my selection are the shadow

[Sacrin]

almost forgot, why need bow for melee summon?

[Tiferet1]

Because of the sharing buff I don't remember the name of, and bow has the most p.atk among the weapons.

[Nismu]

and bow is also making nice damage when you have mentor/fighter buffs . and since it is ranged it good for pulling mobs for your summon while they finish the previous one. Of course death spike can do that too. But personally i found bow better way deal some extra damage on swampland than death spikes even before level 83 as mobs hurted the summon quite hard and i needed to heal it.

That only works at 83+, and at those levels you want Light or Heavy armor for melee summons with a bow, not robes, because the extra P.Def/STR/P.Atk/Atk Speed/Crit Rate/etc. you get from the set bonus scales well on a Summoner.

Below 83 you want Robes with a Mage weapon. Kill with summon and supplement with nukes.
